Some say 2-3 months. CE Grim MD I believe the 6 weeks is to clear MCBs from your system if you are having an AVS. From my research re lack of testosterone caused by Spiro, I would say it would take care of excess testosterone. (It did for me!) Facial hair might be a different story. The transgender site I was using said it would reduce body hair but not facial. (I lost most of my body hair but have a very full beard, eat your heart out Santa! My hair is ready for a donation to "Locks of Love".) Sounds like it wouldn't hurt to try though. - 65 yo super ob. male - 12mm X 13mm rt. a.adnoma with previous rt. flank pain. Treating with Meds.
